Mohammed Kudus was named man of the match as Ajax defeated Scottish side Rangers 3-1 in Tuesday night’s Champions League clash, continuing his impressive form in Europe’s premier club competition. The Ghanaian international was instrumental, providing both a goal and an assist, just as he had in the teams’ previous meeting in September.
Kudus set up Ajax’s opener with a precise lay-off for Steven Berghuis, who side-footed the ball into the net after just four minutes. He then scored himself in the 29th minute, taking advantage of too much space in the penalty area, with his shot deflecting into the goal. A second strike was ruled out for offside, but Kudus remained a constant threat throughout the match.
With this performance, Kudus finishes the Champions League group stage with four goals, making him the highest-scoring Ghanaian in this season’s phase of the competition. His creativity, vision, and attacking prowess proved decisive in securing Ajax’s victory over Rangers.
